…Emily Deschanel and Hart Hanson, Actor and Creator, Bones

Well, I got to sit down and talk to Emily Deschanel and Hart Hanson about the new season of Bones and what we can expect from our favorite characters…

TheTwoCents: Regarding the relationships, not just Booth and Brennan, but Angela and Hodgins, what kind of feedback do you get from viewers? Are they impatient or do they seem to trust you – that you’ll do right by them and the characters before it’s all said and done?

Today’s new releases include the GLEE cast’s versions of Jazmine Sullivan’s “Bust Your Windows” and Grammy Award winner Duffy’s “Mercy.” “Bust Your Windows” and “Mercy” join seven songs already available on iTunes, including “Don’t Stop Believin’,” which shot up to No. 1 after the GLEE preview event in May.

With only two episodes broadcast, GLEE has an incredible five songs in the iTunes Top 200: RACHEL BERRY’s (Lea Michele) version of the Rihanna hit “Take a Bow,” WILL SCHUESTER’s (Matthew Morrison) take on Kanye West’s “Gold Digger,” FINN HUDSON’s (Cory Monteith) performance of REO Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling” and the Glee Club’s renditions of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” and Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It.”

Don’t think of me as a sore loser… but I will never watch a TV show with Antonio as the host. Here are my five reasons why:

1. He’s a liar and deceitful.
2. He doesn’t believe what the clients want is as important as what he wants to do.
3. His personality is rough and grating — and his “no style” gruff hosting style wears thin fast (no matter how much Candice likes to imitate him).
4. I don’t like his design style, so I would never hire him or want to spend time in his rooms.
5. He is so arrogant, he’ll do nothing but look down on viewers.

Yay! The best thing about fall has returned! The lavish lifestyle of my favorite Upper East Siders has returned to my television/computer screen.
Quick recap about what happened last season. Chuck said I Love you to Blair. Serena went searching for her father with the help of Carter Baizen. Nate rebelled against his grandfather. Dan and Jenny got rich. Lily is away taking care of Cece, who seems to have gotten sick since last we saw her, so Rufus is left rehearsing his new stepfather role, taking care of Eric and Dan and Jenny.

The season finale has come. Some of us are sad and some of us are relieved and some of us are a little of both. That’s okay because this week Maryann gives a whole new meaning to the term “animal husbandry,” learns that beyond here lies nothing and dies a bloody, painful death. Finally. Sookie spends most of the episode yelling and trying not to get killed, while occasionally doing something awesome. Eric is suspiciously sparse, Sam is a hero, Bill is a master strategist, and Lafayette is still alive. I repeat, Lafayette is still alive.

Farewell…

…Patrick Swayze, Actor

From CNN: “Patrick Swayze, whose good looks and sympathetic performances in films such as “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost,” made him a romantic idol to millions, has died, his publicist told CNN affiliate KTLA. Swayze was 57.

Swayze died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. His doctor, Dr. George Fisher, revealed in early March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from the disease.

The Israeli Defense Force is still guarding Vince and the boys from his stalker. For fun they eat the boys’ Fruit Loops and use their toilets. Drama had battery acid thrown on him for his most recent role so he is walking around looking like Mel Gibson in “Man Without a Face.” E is still with crazy what’s-her-name (for all of her fans out there, her name is Ashley) who doesn’t trust him. Turtle is getting attention from a slew of girls at school. Lloyd wants to guarantee his promotion to agent. And to wrap up this awesome present of story lines? Zach Efron!

It’s finally here, kids! The premiere of The Jay Leno Show airs tonight! We had a chance to sit down with the king of the Jaywalkers to talk about the rising curtain… and what he wants to do with primetime.

HBO topped the list of winners at the 2009 Creative Arts Emmy Awards with 16 golden statuettes, followed by NBC with 11.

Leading the recipients of multiple awards was the PBS miniseries Little Dorrit, adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens, with four Emmys.

The majority of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which honor excellence in more than 70 categories, are dedicated to key technical disciplines and behind-the-scenes crafts essential to television production — including art direction, cinematography, hairstyling, makeup, music, picture editing, sound editing and mixing, special visual effects, stunts and more.

Awards are also handed out for animation, commercials, reality series and other programming, as well as four acting categories. Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series went to Ellen Burstyn for NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series went to Tina Fey for NBC’s Saturday Night Live; Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series went to Michael J. Fox for FX’s Rescue Me; and Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series went to Justin Timberlake, also for Saturday Night Live.
